Live View keeps shutting off - Canon 6D

Postby frankycoolj » Wed Jul 12, 2017 3:31 am

Hi,

I have a Canon 6D, wifi paired to a ipad mini. The problem is after the first shot is taken, the camera always goes back to view finder and i have to manually press live view on the camera, after every photo taken on wifi shutter release, in order to see a live view on the ipad. Is there a way to keep it on live view all the time?

Thanx Tim I have tried v4. Works wonderful for the first 10 shots or so but then live view turns off again. Also when I tried to connect my iPhone to my iPad, the iPhone just couldn't find the iPad. Is this because my iPhone is running wifi booth 3 while my iPad has the beta version? Thanx

Yes you must update your iphone to v4 as well. It is easy to do that: install testflight on your iphone then use testflight on your iphone to install v4.

I just released an update today evening. It might help you with the 6D problem. Can you please update and try (use testflight on ipad to updated)

you might want to try using a router in infrastructure mode. I had issues with my ipad mini dropping the camera connection, the newer ipads have better wifi. you can get a wifi router for $20

Also, ive updated to the newest version for the v4 beta. Have you removed the option to remove watermark? the packages just keep loading and never actually load. Thanks

No i didnt change that.
If your ios device has internet access it should find the packages fine... and you should be able to "buy" then (free)
